The number 8 is considered to be a very lucky number in parts of the world, and the number 8 is now certainly an extremely lucky and proud number in the halls of XRAY. This year marks the 8th year in a row that XRAY has won the “Car of the Year” award from the coveted German AMT Magazine, as voted by the readers of the magazine. To make this an especially lucky and proud year is the fact that XRAY has won this award in both the 1/10 electric touring and 1/10 nitro touring categories with the XRAY T2 and XRAY NT1.

With many wins at all levels of competition – from local to international – the XRAY T2 and NT1 not only win awards with the press and from magazines, but they are also voted as the favourite and best RC cars by the end customers themselves.

“Winning the Car of the Year award in both the 1/10 electric touring and nitro touring categories is a big statement of the customers’ confidence and appreciation of our products and service. This continuous trust in the quality and performance of XRAY products pushes XRAY to continue with further improvement of our products and services… to provide the best of the best.”
Dipl. Eng. Juraj Hudy, XRAY Chief Designer
